The huge race i just ran to Gods divine Calling.

This is a huge part of my testimony and i have officially gone from couch and walking boots to a 5k in less than a year!

I’ve tipped the scales below 200lbs from 276lbs and given my body back to God for His Glory!

Thankful to God because it’s all HIM, I have just submitted to his plans for me and lupus/depression no longer has me frozen 🥶 on the couch not enjoying the Life God has planned for me!

My testimony is like no one else’s because it’s MINE, and I finally just ran to the finish line of my own life of a 5k a mental race actually - and i no longer will hide my light!

I actually had someone i care deeply about tell me yesterday that my own testimony should be shared when they die because it puts them in a “bad light” and what i have to say to that is “GOD DOESNT WANT ME TO HIDE ANYMORE, I FEEL IT IN MY BONES AND MY STORY COULD HELP SOMEONE ELSE. NEVER EVER LET SOMEONE TELL YOU TO HUSH - It’s not their story most likely they weren’t there for it…………and i’ve spent 32 years tip toeing around others feelings! That is all in Gods Hands now

Some People are afraid that my testimony will show light to the pain or discourse they caused me and honestly maybe you should hear it and read it ITS MY TESTIMONY and my pain that i’ve healed from and now feel comfortable enough to open up about.

I have a story and God has met me many times in my life but One day I was lost and without God in my daily life. I was in the motions and serving others and not caring for my self! 4.5 years ago God stopped me in my tracks and he has daily showed me how to climb out of the whole i lied down in!

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven”

Ephesians 5:8 ESV

XOXO - Always Shine the Light God have you!
